Benefits of technology

It is a further object of the invention to be able to fashion a garment which can accommodate holes, such as armholes, for example, a shirt, without requiring cutting and sewing of the fabric, except for the attachment of sleeves and rounding or finishing of the neck, if such is desired.
It is yet a further object of the present invention to be able to provide a full-fashioned garment for sensate care which can include intelligence capability, such as the ability to monitor one or more body physical signs and / or penetration of the garment, and a process for making such a garment.

Problems solved by technology

However, tubular weaving, up until now has not been available to produce a full-fashioned woven garment, such as a shirt, because it was unable to accommodate discontinuities in the garment, such as armholes, without requiring cutting and sewing.

Embodiment Construction

Referring now to the above figures, wherein like reference numerals represent like parts throughout the several views, the full-fashioned weaving process and product of the present invention will be described in detail.

A. The Full-Fashioned Weaving Process and Garment of the Present Invention

As illustrated in FIG. 1, in a full-fashioned woven garment 10 made in accordance with the present invention, two different weave structures are used: one is the tubular structure for Sections A and C and the other is the double layer structure for Section B. To assist in the description of the present invention, reference will now be made to a garment, such as a sleeveless shirt having a rounded neck 14 similar to a knitted T-shirt, fashioned by the fully-fashioned weaving process of the present invention. However, it should be recognized that the present invention is not limited to only such a garment.

Abstract

A full-fashioned weaving process for the production of a woven garment which can accommodate and include holes, such as armholes. The garment is made of only one single integrated fabric and has no discontinuities or seams. Additionally, the garment can include intelligence capability, such as the ability to monitor one or more body vital signs, or garment penetration, or both, by including a selected sensing component or components in the weave of the garment.

Description

1. Field of the InventionThe present invention relates to a full-fashioned weaving process for the production of a woven garment which can accommodate and include holes, such as armholes. The garment is made of only one single integrated fabric and has no discontinuities or seams. Additionally, the garment can include intelligence capability.2. Background of the ArtIn weaving, two sets of yarns--known as warp and filling yarns, respectively--are interlaced at right angles to one another on a weaving machine or loom. Traditional weaving technologies typically produce a two-dimensional fabric. To fashion a three-dimensional garment from such a woven fabric requires cutting and sewing of the fabric.Tubular weaving is a special variation of traditional weaving in which a fabric tube is produced on the loom. However, tubular weaving, up until now has not been available to produce a full-fashioned woven garment, such as a shirt, because it was unable to accommodate discontinuities in the ...
